Remove the glass front panel to access your Touch's internals.

Einführungsvideo

  1. The glass front panel on the second generation Touch has a plastic frame glued both to its outer edge and also under the wide black strips at the top and bottom of the device. The frame also has a rubber strip that surrounds the edge of the glass panel.

    • The glass front panel on the second generation Touch has a plastic frame glued both to its outer edge and also under the wide black strips at the top and bottom of the device. The frame also has a rubber strip that surrounds the edge of the glass panel.

    • The picture at left (front panel already removed) shows the locations of the metal clips (shown in red) that snap on to the plastic frame. In the next few steps, try to pry the front panel up from the gaps between these clips.

    • Also, be mindful of the very thin and delicate touch screen ribbon cable (connector location shown in orange) attaching the front panel to the upper left corner of the Touch.

  2. Gently insert a plastic opening tool, near the volume control buttons, between the plastic surround of the screen and the metal case. Rotate the tool away from the Touch to pry up on the glass panel.

    • Gently insert a plastic opening tool, near the volume control buttons, between the plastic surround of the screen and the metal case.

    • Rotate the tool away from the Touch to pry up on the glass panel.

    • The key is to work slowly and gently to avoid breaking internal components.

    • If you are having difficulties using a plastic opening tool. You could try a razor blade, we found it easier to release the clips with one. Please be extremely careful if you take this route!

  3. Insert the plastic opening tool between the front panel and its plastic surround and pry up at several points along the left edge of the Touch. Do not insert the tool and run it down the edge of the front panel. This may damage the front panel and the rubber seal. It is best to work one point, pry up, then remove the tool and reinsert it at the next spot to be pried up.

  5. Continue prying up the left edge until the top and bottom edges start to lift out of the Touch. Once the top and bottom edges have lifted slightly out of the Touch, use the opening tool to assure the plastic surround is detached from the clips along the inside of the Touch.

  9. Use the flat end of a spudger (or an opening tool) to pry the touch screen cable connector up off the upper logic board.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger (or an opening tool) to pry the touch screen cable connector up off the upper logic board.

    • Now that the front panel is out, check it for damage. If the plastic surround is not flush with the front face of the glass panel, gently peel it off and stick it down.

    • Be careful not to scratch the front panel on the underside of the black portions, as the scratches will be visible once the device is reassembled.

    • Be sure to clean both the face of the display and the inner surface of the front panel, as any dust or fingerprints will be trapped inside the Touch once it is fully reassembled.

Before you start, it is wise to have a front panel assembly that includes the front bezel, the mid-frame (plastic part with retaining clips) and a full home button assembly. It is A LOT EASIER if you buy one that is pre-assembled.

This was really simple using the ipod tool. It took just a few minutes. The longest delay was just being cautious not to tear any cables. Works Great! The replacement screen and front panel fit perfect and look exactly like the original. Can't tell the difference from the original except this new glass is not cracked.
